Wine Rooms and Wine Storage



Sometimes it is difficult to choose between particular types of wine storage. There must be a balance between style, and necessity. Our customer had a limited amount of space, and a lot of wine bottles to display. After many discussions, it was determined that multiple types of storage would give them the best look, as well as being very functional. There is the large "X" shaped bulk wine storage, Cradle wine racks, and wine cubes all in one display. By varying the types of storage, we were able to combine maximum storage with exquisite style.

Cabinet Refacing

To Reface, or Replace. Cabinet refacing is gaining in popularity in the remodel industry. To reface a cabinet, wood veneers are glued down over the wood face frames of the cabinets, new end panels are applied, new moldings are used, and all of the doors and drawer fronts are replaced. The interiors and cabinet boxes all stay the same. This gives your old dated cabinets a fresh new look, without the hassles of replacing your countertops, changing out your plumbing etc. You can upgrade your drawer boxes, drawer guides, and add accessories as well. Typically, it is less expensive to reface than it is to replace, but not by much.(depending on the wood species, door styles, etc). Refacing cabinets is very labor intensive, but if done properly, can make your cabinets look new again. If you intend on replacing your countertops, then i recommend new cabinets as opposed to refacing. This gives you the opportunity to rearrange your cabinet layout, upgrade your drawers and accessories, get all new box parts, and have all of the important functional features that were not available when your cabinets were originally built. If a Kitchen remodel is in your feature, explore all of the options available including cabinet refacing as well as new cabinetry.
